The wave 2 targets a 20F (11C) delta t in this mode, and with the fan on such a low speed there''s significant mixing of the outlet/inlet air streams (and not enough mixing with the room air) so it ends up throttling the compressor down quite a bit. This has a significant effect on overall cooling ability of the room.
